This is Merry. I adopted him in January from the RSPCA where he had come from a neglect case with 94 other pigs and had spent his life in a dog crate. He was the most nervous pig I have ever had, I don't think I saw him for the first week and once introduced to my girls he followed them round like a train, not doing anything unless they did it first. If I needed to take him out for weighing, etc and separate him from the girls he would emit a gut wrenching scream until returned to them. Anyway....today I took him out to do his nails and a few things....and no screaming! He sat on my knee very politely while I did his nails then stayed there and had some lettuce! I could tell he was not terrified and I am so proud of him 😁 I just wanted to say to anyone who has a nervous pig just keep giving them time.....and tons of lettuce.....and don't give up. I love him so much and to see him enjoying his new life every day fills me with joy. Thank you for reading our story sorry I have rambled. Did I say how proud of him I am?! 20200527_164110.webp

Aw, that’s lovely, it’s so nice when they get over their bad start in life. My Ginger and Posh have just started popcorning this week, they were so shy and nervous when we got them in March, just played dead for the first week, but gradually they gain their confidence and Ginger is the fastest popcorner I’ve ever seen!

It's so lovely seeing them do all those things for the first time. I have had lots of rescue pigs but I have never seen one somehow take so much joy in their new life as he does. Give him an empty cardboard box and it makes his day!
